Dennis Johnson, chairman and CEO of The Johnson Group, is retiring with the completion of the transaction. The printer, which employs 130, will continue to operate under its current name in Rockford. It also has operations in East Dubuque, IL, and New Albany, IN.

Deluxe Corp. does not expect the acquisition to have a significant impact on diluted earnings per share or operating cash flow for the remainder of 2006.
